Houston divas takes the stage tonight at F Bar

Wednesday night is close enough to the weekend for a night out, right? Here’s a suggestion: FH1 Divas Live at F Bar.

The event is a play on VH1′s iconic Divas Live series and features a diverse crop of Houston’s female vocalists. There’s burlesque, soul, acoustic and rap in the mix. Austin dancer Arrianna Aguilar, who graduated from the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, will also showcase some serious moves.

Morena Roas, recently crowned the East End Idol and Pride Superstar runner-up, is earning play at local clubs with single “Molly (Where You At).” (Download it free above.) Expect a full-on performance tonight that includes everything from pop swagger to heartbreaking balladry.

Wendy Taylor made the top 42 last year on “American Idol.” She’s released a three-song EP and has also competed in the local Pride Superstar singing competition. Taylor has a voice that can soar to the heavens.

Nina Lombardo hosts karaoke weekly at JR’s in Montrose. She is also a former Pride Superstar finalist and has a soulful, searing voice.

Josie Arias hosts karaoke weekly at F Bar and also performs around town with a band. She was named the 2013 Bay Area Houston Idol.
